2 Bedroom Cabin in Ruidoso

River Ridge Retreat: Your Secluded Mountainside Hideaway
Escape to River Ridge Retreat where nature's beauty and cozy comforts come together for the perfect getaway! Perched atop a hill with a stunning view of Midtown Ruidoso and the distant mountains, this charming 2-bedroom cabin offers the best of both worlds—seclusion and convenience. Just minutes from downtown, but tucked away on the ridge, you'll enjoy the soothing sounds of the Rio Ruidoso River below and the tranquil mountain air.
Begin each day basking in the warmth of the oversized sunroom, sipping your morning coffee while soaking in the breathtaking views. Snuggle up next to the gas fireplace as the mountain vistas greet you, or head outside to fire up the grill and dine al fresco while taking in the natural surroundings. When evening falls, unwind in the private hot tub on the lower deck—secluded from neighbors but still open to the gorgeous sights around you.
Ideal for a small family retreat or a romantic getaway, River Ridge Retreat has plenty of charm and character packed into its cozy 1,224 square feet. The two themed bedrooms and mountain-inspired décor throughout the home make it a unique and delightful space to relax and recharge. Plus, your furry friends are welcome too! With a fenced-in backyard and a few walking paths, your dogs will enjoy the adventure just as much as you.
River Ridge brings comfort, charm, and natural beauty together in one peaceful package. Let the sounds of the river and the mountain breezes carry your cares away—this is the retreat you've been waiting for!
PLEASE NOTE: Only a window AC unit in the living room.
